Seriously. Any civilized country would take the murder of 1200 of their civilians and just move on. Like, the abducted are way over there in Gaza. Just leave ‘em for Mohamed’s sake.

So Hamas was operating their fighting force out of a hospital. Does that mean it’s okay to fight them there???

You're totally right.

Israel has not been murdering innocents consistently for 60 years.

One retaliatory strike, leading to 260 deaths, not 1200, deserves a response of 11,000 dead civilians in a month and a half.

That’s gonna happen when the force you’re fighting uses human shields.

What a despicable monstrous opinion.

Not an opinion. It’s what’s happening right now.

Ya. And it's despicable and monsterous.

If only America stopped flushing billions over billions of dollars on killing innocent brown people.

I mean America is despicable and monstrous as well by your standards. 9/11 killed 3K people. Our subsequent invasion and the war on terror has lead to almost half a million civillian casualties (not even including the economic damage or how many were displaced). I'd love to find a government that could take an attack like that and surgically exterminate only those involved in it without harming anyone else. Sadly that's not realistic. I think things would at least calm down if hamas returned the hostages. Sadly, they don't even seem to know where a lot of them are atm and have made it clear they won't. So Israel either needs to level Palestine trying to find them or compell hamas to release them. Any diplomatic option would just incentivise hamas to do more attacks like the October incursion. That said Israel should really stop because I don't see an end here. Hamas cares so little about Palestinians their more than happy to see them wiped out and Israel can't realistically just take over the whole gaza strip. It has to end eventually and stretching it out just seems to be because Israel wants to hurt Palestine as retaliation with hostages or diplomacy as secondary considerations. Bibi lost face in this attack and wants to present himself as hard in response when really this is partly his colossal f*ck up.

Hamas doomed a lot of people as soon as they set up a base in a hospital.

Israel doomed a lot of people when they murdered them.
